Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers..

On January 17, 2020, the Executive Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of The J. M. Smucker Company (the "Company") adopted and approved The J. M. Smucker Company Executive Severance Plan (the "Severance Plan"), effective January 17, 2020, for elected officers of the Company. The Severance Plan provides for the payment of severance and other benefits to eligible employees in the event of a termination of employment with the Company without cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or for certain other specified reasons (each, a "Qualifying Termination"). On July 13, 2020, the Compensation Committee adopted and approved a revised version of the Severance Plan to amend Section 3.02(a)(ii) to specify that an involuntary termination without cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) would constitute a Qualifying Termination.

The above description is a summary of the terms of the Severance Plan and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Severance Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
